OUR MEMORY VERSES

WHY WE MEMORIZING SCRIPTURE

Paul wrote that “we all, . . . beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another” (2 Corinthians 3:18). If we would be changed into
Christlikeness, we must steadily see him. This happens in the word. “The Lord revealed himself to Samuel at Shiloh by the word of the Lord” (1 Samuel 3:21). Bible memorization has the effect of
making our gaze on Jesus steadier and clearer.

Yours, Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendour, for everything in heaven and earth is yours. Yours, Lord, is the kingdom; you are exalted as head over
all. Wealth and honour come from you; you are the ruler of all things. In your hands are strength and power to exalt and give strength to all. Now, our God, we give you thanks, and praise your
glorious name.

TERM 2, 2018: GOD IS FORGIVING

JAMES Chapter 5, Verses 13-16

Is anyone among you in trouble? Let them pray. Is anyone happy? Let them sing songs of praise. Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint
them with oil in the name in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well. If they have sinned they will be forgiven. Therefore, confess your sins to each
other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective

Christ is the exact likeness of God, who can’t be seen. He is first, and he is over all of creation. All things were created by him. He created everything in heaven and on earth. He created
everything that can be seen and everything that can’t be seen. He created kings, powers, rulers and authorities. Everything was created by him and for him. Before anything was created, he was
already there. He holds everything together.

TERM 4, 2018: GOD IS STRENGTH

EPHESIANS Chapter 6, Verses 13-18 (NIV Version)

Therefore put on the full amour of God so that when t he day of evil comes you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt
of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place and with your feet fitted with your readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this take
up the shield of faith with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the spirit which is the word of God. And pray in
the spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind be alert and always keep on praying for all the lords people.
